    "I was very happy with the appointment itself. The doctor and staff were wonderful. However, there was a very long delay between the end of my appointment and the script being sent to Hartigs. We waited and called the pharmacy who called provider office, but it was still a couple hours before my prescription was ready by which time we had left town requiring a family member to pick up the medicine."

    "Hello there. My name is [REDACTED]. I am a first-time patient with Dr. Maria Fernandez, and I was absolutely bowled over with pleasure. She's a great, great personality, definitely very competent. I asked her questions. She was able to answer everything right away, which very seldom happens for me anymore. We seem to connect pretty quickly, and I am definitely calling her my primary care provider. So if there are any other questions and somebody wants to call to verify, my phone number is [REDACTED]It was a delightful appointment, and I look forward to meeting with her again."

My husband, son, and 9month old daughter came home after almost and hour wait with NO medication for her ear infection. Then my husband drove back to finally go pick up the prescription after I called to see when it was finally called in. Appt was at 2:15 prescription was finally called in at 3:35. Unacceptable"
